“…These compounds can exhibit antimicotic properties [3], can act as anti-inflammatory agents [4] and were tested on their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus Aureus, Streptococcus Pneumoniae, Escherichia Coli, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, and Micrococcus [5,6]. Several methods are already described in the literature to synthesize 1,2,4-oxadiazoles [7], among them, the condensation of amidoximes with carboxylic acids in the presence of a coupling reagent [8] and the cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to amidoximes in solution and on solid support [9,10]. As a part of a program directed to obtain 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole molecules which can be used as corrosion inhibitors [11], we have finalized a simple new one step synthesis of the 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from aromatic nitriles and hydroxylamine hydrochloride.…”
